Analog Mastery Meets Modern Media in Upcoming Elektor Engineering Insights Episode
Scheduled for May 28, 2025, the upcoming episode of Elektor Engineering Insights is set to spotlight a rare blend of analog design expertise and digital-era engineering communication. Veteran power electronics engineer Eddie Aho, the force behind the YouTube channel Kiss Analog, will join host Brian Tristam Williams for a session titled “Kiss Analog Unfiltered: Power Design, Audio Myths, and Test Gear Truths.”
Broadcast live at 16:00 CEST (10:00 AM EDT / 14:00 UTC), the session marks the 51st installment of the highly regarded engineering interview series that caters to Europe’s most technical electronics audience.
From Aerospace to Algorithms: An Engineer’s Journey
With a career spanning aerospace, defense, and high-volume consumer systems, Aho’s transition from corporate design labs to online content creation mirrors a growing trend: the democratization of engineering know-how via independent media. His channel, Kiss Analog, focuses on power systems, audio design, and test equipment—with a refreshing emphasis on engineering reality over marketing hype.
“Engineers need clarity and context—not fluff,” says Aho in a preview clip. “The goal is to bring mission-critical rigor to everyday designs and break down the false divides between analog, digital, and RF.”
Key Themes to Watch
The episode promises a frank discussion around:
-
Power electronics for mission-critical applications
-
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and the truth behind audiophile claims
-
Test gear reliability in real-world environments
-
Educational content creation for engineers, by engineers
Targeting Industrial Relevance
Elektor’s EEI platform has gained traction by bridging the gap between deep technical insight and accessible media formats. “We’re not doing tech theatre,” says Senior Marketing Manager Udo Bormann. “These episodes are shaped around engineers with skin in the game—people like Eddie who’ve built systems for satellites and now teach others how to avoid common mistakes.”
The episode aligns closely with the interests of eeNews Europe readers—particularly those in power supply design, signal integrity, and mixed-signal verification—as it explores foundational challenges that persist even amid AI-driven design trends.
Bonus: Audio DSP FX Board Giveaway
In partnership with Elektor Labs, the episode will also feature a giveaway of the Elektor Audio DSP FX Processor, a €84.95 development board combining ESP32 and ADAU1701 for real-time audio applications. From guitar pedals to Bluetooth speakers, the board represents an intersection of embedded computing and analog signal processing—an ideal companion to the episode’s topics.
Participants must watch the episode to retrieve the code word needed to enter the draw.
